Chapter 28 Into the Dangerous Route
PD3 MU1: Some place in Bayview, California January 28, 2013 9:05 am local time
"Um, who are you and what world are we in?" May asks the mysterious man in his 50s. He is wearing a blue vest, a white long sleeve, a red necktie, and black pants with the matching brown leather shoes. The man bowed in respect and replied "Well, my name is Christopher McMinn."
"The most unusual here is that on what world are we?" Paul followed up with him being a little bit skeptical. It is because it seems that this mysterious urban city is a bit bigger and more or less advance than both their world and the previous world they visited.
"I was informed about that…" Christopher replied "… this world is the result of the fusion of the world of Bakugan and the world of humans…"
"Do you have any proof?" Max asks. At that moment, the old man brought out a brown ball with some kind of symbol representing Earth. It was about the same size as a golf ball.
"I never used him in any battle because he never wanted to…" the man replied "… he is a Subterra Tuskor." At that moment, Max brought out his Pokedex and scanned the ball.
"Why is it you are using your Pokedex Max?" May asks her little brother.
"I let Japan update this in case of emergencies…" Max replied "… he placed information about this world and our world combined."
"Then I should've updated Dextet as well!" May shouted as she realized that Max's Pokedex was updated.
"Let's see…" Max's Pokedex said "Subterra Tuskor has 230Gs"
"Um, what's that?" May suddenly asks her brother.
"It's the unit that determines a Bakugan's power…" Christopher replied "So far, I never had battles with anyone…"
"Wait…" Paul said "...you mean you could use those balls as a fighting tool?"
"They are beings you know…" the old man replied. "Tuskor, if you could, speak out…"
"Of course I would…" a small voice said "…but I'll never battle…"
"Did…did that ball just talked?" May was surprised when she heard it.
"Well, I'll let you stay at my home for a while…" the man replied. "You really have to change your clothes…"
As they walk by the streets, they noticed that people are talking about the way they dress.
"It seems that the people here are not…" at that moment, Paul was being intercepted by a girl in glasses.
"Could I have your autograph? You're cosplaying Paul Shinji right?" The girl asks while pulling some kind of postcard of Paul.
"Where did you…"
"Well… looks like we have to be careful here…" Max said as he is looking thru his updated Pokedex "They are showing the show about Ash's travels in the Shinnoh region. It seems to be your entrance is a big hit in this world…"
"You mean…" Paul was about to replied when fangirls begins to storm him. Quickly, he manages to hide and dodge the crowd.
"This has to be worse than America…" May replied. Her bag is full of letters describing ways how to make Drew fall in love to her.
"What place are we in anyway?" Max asks. They saw the a picture frame of a scene in the city and it said 'Bayview, California'
"SO YOU MEAN WE HAVEN'T LEFT…"
"It seems to be to survive means to change our clothes…" Paul interrupted May's interjection. "Christopher, do you have extra clothes that matches this world?"
"Well, you could take what my son and daughter wore for a meantime…" Jima replied "You see, they already left me after my wife passed away a year ago…"
"That's sad…" May commented. "You seem to have the happiest family as the family picture says…"
"That's not what I meant…" Christopher said. He just puffed some air and said "They both died in an airplane crash a couple of years before…"
"An airplane crash?" May reacted.
"Yes, the airplane crash…" Christopher replied "… the day that changed my life…"
PD1MU1: Some street in Cerulean City, Kanto Region January 29, 2012 7:10 pm local time
"It's weird Shinnoh…" Kanto said as he and his brother walks towards the Cerulean City gym "We all know that the things that happened last time can't happen again right?"
"It seems that they are targeting the Tree of Begginning. Besides, STOP CALLING ME IN MY REGIONAL NAME!" Shinnoh yelled at his brother.
"Well, the people here don't care about us…" Kanto said. They finally reached the gym and they saw Dawn and Misty practicing Dawn's new contest appeal maneuver she learned when she visited the other world.
"Dawn…" Misty is just bewildered "…are you sure about using that move?"
"Of course!" Dawn replied "Alright. Togekiss, form an Aura Sphere the shape of a tomato and use Air Slash!" Unfortunately, it also failed. Dawn gave a full sigh.
"I should give up…" Dawn said "…Togekiss is not the right Pokémon… even Mamoswine and Pachurisu can't perform that…"
"PIPLUPLUPLUP!" Dawn's Piplup suddenly emerges from her Pokeball.
"You want to try it buddy?" Dawn said.
"PIPLUP!" At that moment, Piplup began to form a Bubblebeam attack… in the shape of Pasta, Pizza and Lasagna, including the most coveted tomato. Piplup even played it like a clown molding a balloon.
"The question is that is it even usable?" Shinnoh replied.
"SHINNOH, what are you doing here?" Dawn exclaimed.
"We want you to join an emergency meeting. Since I'm going to lead it, why don't we test it?" The tall-haired region replied…
A Street in Castelia City, January 28, 2012 10:25 am local time
"Your skills have improved its flavor Ash…" a boy in a waiter suit with green hair and eyes said. "Since when did you learned to use that move?"
"Well…" Ash pondered a bit and he excitedly said "… from someone I am told not to speak off…"
Flashback: NMD1MU1 January 27,2012 Japan's Top Secret Training Area in New York
Ash is having a hard time taking out Japan's unusually powerful Magikarp. Japan successfully taken out most of his Pokémon he used in Unova region, all except Pikachu and Snivy. Brock and the others can't believe that Ash was just being defeated by what is considered to be the one of the weakest Pokémon so far… even though Japan promised to use his weakest Pokémon.
"So Japan is dead serious in saying even a Magikarp could be that powerful…" May commented.
"He was just lucky…" Paul said "… I dared him one time and I was defeated… by a Rattata…"
"A WHAT!" the other trainers shouted.
"Japan, you promised to use the weakest right?" Ash said. He was simply overpowered on that powerful Magikarp combination Japan is always using.
"I still haven't used Feebas, Rattata, and Bidoof yet…" Japan replied.
"Well then, Pikachu go out!" Ash yelled. His Pikachu went out to the Arena. At that moment, Pikachu simulated a break-dance and it formed tendril-like electric arcs around him.
"Counter Shield?" Japan replied. "Magikarp, Splash up to the top and use Flail!" The Magikarp flipped very high and tried to go inside the funnel. However, Japan was surprised that his Magikarp did not make it and got shocked and fainted.
"Magikarp is unable to battle!" Brock, acting as the referee, shouted on the side of the field, pointing a green flag towards Japan's side of the field. Japan recalled his Magikarp.
"Good battle." Japan said. "Feebas, go!"
"A Feebas huh?" Ash said. "Pikachu, use Electro ball!" As Pikachu begin the attack…
"Feebas, Splash around Pikachu and surround him using Kokutai Defensive barrier # 5." Japan ordered. The Feebas begins to glow in red and Splashed around Pikachu.
"What is he doing now?" Barry commented.
"ASH USE QUICK ATTACK OR ANY CLOSE RANGE ATTACK NOW!" Misty shouted.
"Why would I…" At that moment, Feebas gained speed using basic knowledge in Physics and has formed a red shield around Pikachu so quickly that when Pikachu's attack came to being, it all went back to him. At that moment, Pikachu was hurt.
"Good work. Stay put Feebas…" Japan said.
"What did just…"
"That's a Mirror Coat combination right?" Dawn replied.
"Absolutely…" Misty gave out a sigh "…Ash didnot even notice it…"
Flashback: PD1MU1 January 28, 2012 9:15 am
Ash is battling a random trainer in Castelia City using his Pidove against a Roggenrola. The type disadvantage is so powerful that the Roggenrola is largely undamaged and Pidove is very tired.
"Better think of a…" Ash suddenly had an idea.
"Roggenrola, use Rock Blast!" Its trainer commanded. A series of rocks was thrown and Pidove brilliantly dodges it.
"Pidove, try to use our own Kokutai Defensive Barrier!" Ash yelled.
"Kokutai what?" one of Ash's friends, a girl with a thick hair that is similar to a palm tree commented. Pidove swirled around the Rock Pokémon and it formed a raging whirlwind around it.
"Well, foolish move…" the opposite trainer comments. "Use Rock Blast!"
"NOW! WING ATTACK!" The Pidove suddenly goes inside the whirlwind and disappeared. The whirlwind turned into a brownish, artificial Sandstorm.
"When did a Pidove learned that?" Cilan, acting as the referee commented.
"Pidove…" Ash shouted "Get out of that place." Pidove went out and hovered. Pidove and Ash is waiting until Roggenrola stood up, weakened. A Quick Attack is enough to finish the battle.
"Just training with someone not even one of you wanted to mess with…" Ash replied.
"So, you trained with someone when you got lost in the city last time…" Iris speculated. "…why would you hide…"
"YO!" A voice shouted on top of a building. "CHOSEN ONE SATOSHI TAJIRI, WHERE ARE YOU!" At that moment, Ash shivered, knowing that happens to be Unova with a very loud speaker calling out his other full name if he was in his home country.
"Alright, what is he doing…" Iris noticed Ash and she just said. "Wow, what kind of man would do that?"
"IF YOU WON'T APPEAR, I'LL SPREAD YOUR INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH NAME!"
"Um, I have to go somewhere…" Ash said. At that moment, Unova jumps 20 stories up and made a show by releasing a parachute and gliding towards the three. The parachute has the Unova Air Corps emblem on it. The three got covered by the parachute seconds later.
"Man, I hate big cities…" Unova spoke while looking at his Xtranceiver. "Shinnoh, I can't find him."
"He has to be there somewhere…" Shinnoh replied. Unova noticed his parachute moving and turned around. He then saw Ash and his comrades trying to remove themselves from the parachute.
"Oh, there you are…"
"This is not the proper way Uno… I mean Albert…" Cilan replied.
"You do know him right?" Ash looked at him back.
"Well, of course, we met…" Cilan realized something and yelled "YOU KNOW HIM?"
"So, there are the two of you…" Unova replied "… Cress and Chili are also at the Emergency Unovan Trainer's Guild Conference."
"Why are you saying that to this immature trainer here?" Iris said.
"HEY, I'M NOT…"
"He actually knows who I am…" Unova replied "… and I really need him on this conference…"
